| I support the Downtown Eagle River Overlay District to maintain Eagle River's small town feeling. It will enhance living here by creating a more people friendly atmosphere. Walking will be safer. Available open space is quickly becoming limited and this overlay will help insure that development supports Eagle River's community. | |

| I strongly favor the overlay district concept. It preserves the small town feel of Chugiak Eagle River, yet recognizes that growth will occur particularly in the core area of Chugiak- Eagle River. The town center concept will be smart growth for Chugiak-Eagle River with appropriate design standards. Bob Gill | |

| At the 11/20/08 Chugiak Community Council (“Council”) meeting, the Chugiak-Eagle River Chamber of Commerce presented their plans to establish the Downtown Eagle River Overlay District. The project was described as a grass roots effort based on concerns from local residents/businesses and results of a recent Dittman survey. The overlay district would implement the Urban Design Study recommendations from the Eagle River Central Business Revitalization Plan (AO 2003-074). If implemented, the new district would control the type of development taking place in downtown Eagle River by: restricting building heights; restricting incompatible land uses; encouraging more attractive and better-connected housing; and incorporating design standards that would use a menu system of options for developers. The district would also protect existing development via grandfathering. ________ At the 04/06/09 Council meeting, the Council discussed Planning & Zoning Case No. 2009-050 to establish the Downtown Eagle River Overlay District (AO 2009-026). The case is scheduled to go before the Planning and Zoning Commission on 06/01/09. ________ The Council unanimously passed a motion to recommend that this request to establish the Downtown Eagle River Overlay District be approved as proposed. | |
